What is 'Playing With' a trope? Showing what the trope would look like under the usual transformations. The usual transformations are listed in detail on the [[Playing with a Trope]] page. They are things like subverted, inverted, enforced, exaggerated, and so on.

 

 

{{quote|'''Valid''': Double Subverted: The heroine's love for the hero fails to prevent his death, but as she's led away in despair, she is rescued by a reincarnated hero.

* Start by creating your new page by going to the trope and clicking on "Playing With" under the Create New menu

* If you are unfamiliar with the various transformations, [[Trope Name/Playing With|this page]] gives a nice short description of the standard expanded set, as does the [[Playing with a Trope]] page.

 

== Some common misunderstandings, and things to keep in mind ==

** "Invoked" vs. "Exploited": An [[Exploited Trope]] is when a [[Genre Savvy]] character can predict that the trope will be in effect and adjusts his behavior accordingly. An [[Invoked Trope]] is when the character is even more pro-active and deliberately goes out of his way to set up the situation for the trope to occur.

** "Averted" vs. "Subverted" vs. "Downplayed": Keep in mind to avoid confusion, tropes are Averted when they don't occur ''at all''; the trope is absent from the work completely. Subversions occur only when the audience is made to believe in advance that a trope will happen, but then it doesn't actually happen at all. For a trope to be Downplayed means it does occur, but to less of an extent than usual, regardless of the setup. Aversions and downplayings are [[Not a Subversion|not subversions]] of the trope.
